Affected Teaching

Here is another example of a verse reversed in the modern versions. In
the King James we read that Paul is sending Tychicus and Onesimus who will
both bring the Colossians news of Paul but they are also to bring Paul
information about them also and how they are faring in their Christian walk.
The modern versions take Paul’s concern for the Colossians and wipes it out.
Paul was always interested in how the churches were doing.

(2 Cor
11:28 KJV) Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me
daily, the care of all the churches.

Paul was not interested in just telling everyone how he was doing but he
wanted to know if there were any problems arising which would hinder the
growth of the churches. The modern versions state that when these brothers
arrive they will encourage your hearts by telling them about Paul’s
condition and they leave it at that. Paul was in prison when he penned the
book of Colossians so he was unable to come to them personally. The mission
of the two brethren was to bring them information about Paul and to bring
Paul information about the Colossians. Gnosticism was alive and well when
the book of Colossians was written and this book was to be a defense against
it creeping into the church. There is no reason why the modern versions
reversed the wording but once again it shows how corrupt and Gnostic they
are.
